LA4782 UV Fused Silica Plano-Convex Lens; Dia:2 in; f=501.8 mm; Uncoated

The LA4782 UV Fused Silica Plano-Convex Lens is a high-quality optical component sourced from Thorlabs, a leading vendor in the field of optical equipment. This lens is designed with a plano-convex shape, which means one side is flat (plano) and the other side is curved (convex). This particular lens has a diameter of 2 inches and a focal length of 501.8 mm, making it suitable for a wide range of optical applications.

The lens is made of UV Fused Silica, a material known for its excellent transmission properties in the ultraviolet (UV) region of the spectrum. This makes the LA4782 an ideal choice for UV-based applications. The material also has a high Abbe number, indicating a low chromatic dispersion, which is beneficial for achromatic designs.

The geometry of the lens includes a thickness of 3 mm at the edge and 4.4 mm at the center. The radius of curvature of the curved surface is 230 mm, and the back focal length is 498.7 mm. The lens is uncoated, meaning it does not have any additional layers to enhance its optical properties. However, uncoated lenses can still provide excellent performance in many applications, especially when the light source has a low power output.
